A very old round set of Ida ou Semlal fibulae. They are missing their rings. The detail on the actual pin portion and on the little tabs) where the red cord is) is wonderful.

I agree with Chantal, although I am not the expert on Morocco. They are wonderful, as well as the other one, which I just commented. Compliments - lucky owner!!

There is such a wonderful sense of movement in the design.

Yes, the design reminds me of Ottoman marbleized paper.

These are my new highly sought after objects ( I always have to be focused on something) The silver work on these is lush -- and unusual. I keep finding these in singles and not pairs.

The workmanship is just like that found on many of the kitab pendants. I wonder if there is any evidence that they were strung between fibulae.....

verry nice pieces. it is brass with high silver engraved. it gives a strong fibula that not brake, with nice looking silver and not expensive

I am only aware of the kitabs being used in Necklaces.
